tips to learn how to type better
thibaut | Feb 19 2006
Hello all, I have the feeling that most of the crowd at 43F is pretty much fluent with typing on a computer keyboard - IT people ; like you don't have to look at the keyboard to type your messages. I think that typing is teached at school in the US for quite some time now, but here, in France, I've not been through such lessons. Everytime I see somebody typing and staring at the screen continuously, it's like seeing someone juggling with 4 empty wine bottles at the same time. My job doesn't really require me to be a keyboard ninja while typing texts, but I realised I had to go ahead and learn to type correctly in order to spend less time on writing emails or posts like this one. Or type more in the same amount of time... I've downloaded a nice freeware app for mac called 2T4Mac. I'm doing the exercices since two days, and my improvements already show up. Thanks a lot in advance for your input. 7 Comments

 Typing by touch is much...Submitted by solidsnot on February 19, 2006 - 3:19pm.
Typing by touch is much like any other skill: practice makes perfect. The more you practice it, the better you will get at it. I wouldn't push yourself with it as it will come to you with time. From what you say since it isn't a critical skill for you then just take it slow and practice when you can. » POSTED IN:
